Bush says he will be "strong asset" to 2008 Republicans by Stephen Collinson
Thu Sep 20, 4:53 PM ET

WASHINGTON (AFP) - President George W. Bush insisted on Thursday he will be a "strong asset" for Republicans battling for election in 2008, despite shaky opinion poll ratings born of a tumultuous presidency.

Bush, who has 16 months left in his second term, laid out a battle-plan for 2008 Republican candidates, based on a robust 'war on terror' policy, support for Iraq and low taxes.

"Strong asset," Bush said emphatically, when asked at a White House news conference whether he would be an asset or liability for Republicans in presidential and congressional elections next year.

"Candidates who go out and say that the United States is vulnerable to attack and we're going to make sure our professionals have the tools necessary to protect us are going to do well," said Bush, who appeared invigorated by the question.

"Candidates who go out and say that helping these Iraqis realize the benefits of democracy are going to do well," said Bush who has often said that only future historians will offer a true judgement on his presidency.

"Candidates who go out and say that it's very important for the United States to have clear principles when it comes to foreign policy, they'll do well.

"Candidates who say we're not going to raise your taxes will do well."

9. I wonder what it would cost to ship them 11 foot poles, and

if they would get the joke.

4. the only domestic issue the "non-nation builder" mentions is taxes

otherwise, it's all foreign

[DaveJ]

7. And notice he says "your" taxes to reporters who are probably

I would guess largely in the upper class tax bracket. It's taxes on the poor and middle class that concerns people, not their taxes.

8. Wow! I can't wait.

The next president is going to raise somebody's taxes -- whether he or she is a Democrat or a Republican. There is no way around it. Let's see which side lies the best about it.

10. Lepers would be more cuddly by comparison.

11. I took a short vomit break when I read "16 months left in his second term..."

There's really no way to say those words in a positive, upbeat, encouraging way.

"...16 months left in his second term..."

See what I mean?

:evilgrin:

13. Yeah, he worked so well for them in November 2006.

Of course, our democratic victors haven't done jack shit, are essentially pussies, and will not stand up to Bush. They have squandered the public's support for ending the war just like * squandered the surplus and the world's support after 911.

14. You keep telling yourself that, George.

Don't hold your breath waiting for invitations to campaign events to come your way.

[emilyg]

16. Oh please - let him hold his breath.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. Want to make a small wager on that one, George?
